I need that blood in circulation not in my dick. If I wanted to see half-naked women I'd just visit literally any website.

I've made it my new year's resolution to build up my arms and upper chest, I find going to the gym to be unnecessary since I'm not aiming to get absolutely shredded so I'll just buy some dumb bells to lift at home and do pushups to target my pecs, I don't have any set-in-stone milestones in mind and I probably won't change my diet since - like I said - I'm not aiming to get to my absolute limit in terms of muscle mass.

You could even smile at the the pretty women? You do not have to think with your dick and just be normal. Pictures of women do not equate to a real breathing person. Turn your monitor off and touch grass.

you shouldn't be a coomer for sure, but don't even smile at them. Autism-max and don't look at them, speak to them, or interact with them

What about just going to the gym to get your lifts in and leave

Getting like 3 or 4 personal training sessions is a great investment that is worth it in prevented injuries (imagine what having an injury that would prevent you a month or longer from training would be like and what you would be willing to pay to prevent it).
When you're getting into exercise and lifting it helps to have some technique to do things in a way that makes sense. There is no big mystery and it isn't essential, but having the right technique is valuable and a half decent trainer will fix any of the typical rookie mistakes that everyone makes. People online can't see what you do so there is a bit of a barrier to online advice that will always be a bit too generalistic when you're starting out.
btw even if your goal is upperbody strength or having a good looking upperbody, core training is usually the best place to start because it supports all other development.

Honestly I want women to dress appropriately just so I don't see any degenerate behavior. I get it's the gym manager's job but from my area proper management is a rarity and for many people switching gyms isn't an option.
Most notable incident in my mind was a couple working out together one of the workouts was a smith machine leg press, the dude playing pretend as a coach instead of standing on her side he crouches below her staring at her hoo-ha.
Mentioned it to my buddy that works as their customer service and tells me that it isn't the first time and has been a common occurrence, all because the branch manager doesn't have the balls to kick out members or fix issues.

I've seen quite a few pictures of men going to the gym, particularly in Spain (I don't visit many other social media profiles), where they're wearing some weird boxer-looking shorts that really accentuates their bulge. I don't have any examples to provide but I find that absolutely insane; these men look half-naked down there!
And it's mostly gays doing it.

It's my dream one day to have a gym that's guys only. It's gonna be called Guy Heaven
unironically, if I get any spare money in the future, I will make a gym called "Guy Heaven" that's de facto only for men. It will be tricky to make as hostile to women as possible without outright gender discrimination, so I don't get sued, but it's gonna be worth it

I don't think the thought has sprung into your mind but it sounds like a gay bar.

Idk, my most harrowing experiences in the gym always had to do with some guy being retarded. While women being whores is annoying, I wouldn't say it's the worst thing about the gym. Whores are one of the worst things about fitness culture online though, I'd agree with that.

In this video Dr.Pak talks about the minimum effective does for hypertrophy, he says that between 1-4 sets a week will give you around 65% of your gains (1 set giving you less of course), and 9 sets a week around 80% of your gains., this is very important because it shows that you can still be lazy and get results, if for some reason you can't (or don't want) to train one day then you can just do one set to failure and still get results.
This is also important because it shows that if just 1-4 sets a week is enough for good results, then that means you can do a lot of therapeutic/accessories for just 1-4 sets a week and be ok, for example:
- Two sets a week of side lunges to train your adductors.
- Two sets a week of leg lateral raises for your to train the glute medius.
- Two sets a week of Y raises to train the lower trap.
- Two sets a week of reverse hyperextensions.

If you're over thirty just be mindful of your knees.
Also a great bodyweight exercise (for abs) is to lay down on your back, grab something solid or anchored behind your head, like a couch leg, and swing your feet together straight up, then lower them back down. It's a better full-range than crunches, can take you much further than a plank, and you're less likely to give yourself a hernia.

Friendly new years reminder for anyone who’s lurking who might not know: beware of ego lifting
Dumb name for a common problem, it’s perfectly okay to hit lesser weights as long as you got good form
Once you’re ready and have mastered the movements then you can stack plates and not hurt yourself

Form > consistency > numbers.
Can't make gains when you're crippled.
If you're new to lifting I recommend doing a warmup set for every lift just to make sure you've got the form + recruitment down, to avoid injury. Honestly I recommend it for anybody regardless of experience level but I'm not your dad.
